"Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise."

"You were right"

"Of course, you forget I lived in a Pack"

"A Pack that you betrayed"

"Never said I liked being in it"

A chuckle.

"Now what?"

"We continue with the plan"

"Cats!"

All three heads looked up and looked at their female co-worker.

"You mean the musical?" Tim asked

"No, I mean you and your siblings' names. I finally figured out why they sounded so familiar, they're names of cats" Ziva explained.

"I know "Tim sighed, "Mom has an odd sense of humor"

"I'll say" Tony said with a grin that told all that he was about to unfold a whole load of jokes.

"Don't even think about it DiNozzo" Gibbs said before going standing up to head to Abby's lab.

"You got anything for me Abbs?" he asked when he entered.

"A suspect Gibbs!"

The suspect was a dead end and after another week of no leads, Abby convinced them all that a night out was needed, even Gibbs was dragged along.

"Come on Timmy you have to come!"

"I'm sorry Abby, but me and my brothers an d sister are going out tonight"

"Then bring them!"

Tim sighed, sometimes being a Were was a pain, especially when you were trying to keep it a secret from your friends.

For all Weres, the night of the Full Moon was a mystical night for not only was it the night where they transformed, it was the night that began the birth of their species. One of the side effects was that the week and days before the Full Moon, was that it made it harder to control the feral personality.

"Alright Abby I'll come" Tim finally said after being glared and ignored at for a good five minutes.

"I'll just leave early" he thought as he was tightly hugged.

"Timothy McGee where the hell are you!"

Kuma hung up the phone harshly; he growled and paced the small apartment. His brother was supposed to be home hours ago; it was nearly nightfall and already he could feel the need to change, so he was sure his youngest brother could feel it too.

"I'm sure he just forgot the time" Sarah said.

"Like hell, it's the Full Moon!" Kuma snarled, baring fangs.

Sarah flinched and whimpered; Leo nuzzled her cheek and gave a soft purr.

"Kuma why don't we just go there" Orion said, "he left us the address"

Kuma looked at him, before sighing and taking a deep breathe.

"Alright, Sarah I'm sorry" he then said kneeling in front of the girl and nuzzling her chin.

Sarah licked his cheek, "It's okay" she said.

Kuma gave her a small smile, he hadn't meant to snap at her, but as acting Alpha the fact that one of his pack-mates, his baby brother was not here, made it more stressful for him.

"Alright let's go"

He needed to leave now!

"McGee?"

Tim looked over at Jimmy.

"Are you alright?"

Tim opened his mouth to tell the other he was fine, but all that came out was a low groan. Suddenly Jimmy was gone and then reappearing with Ducky and everyone else.

"Mr. Palmer says you are feeling well" Ducky said, before placing his hand on his forehead only to take quickly back.

"You're burning up Timothy!"

Tim pushed away the hands that were moving him to sit, groaning when a sharp pain spiked through him.

Damn it he needed to go now!

"Tim!"

Tony watched surprised as his teammate, roughly pushed Gibbs out the way and stumble out the bar.

"Tim!"

Abby rushed after him, Ziva behind her, Ducky and Jimmy not far.

Gibbs stood there a bit surprised before he too went out, Tony followed still a little dazed.

The moon's shine hugged his body, caressing him as he fell to his knees.

The world around him spun, the bones in his body cracked as they shifted, skin stretched and hair grew. With a loud cry both of pain and power his transformation was complete.

With a soft growl he shook his fur and stretched his limbs, before sitting down and cleaning his fur.

"T-Timmy?"

Green eyes turned to look up at his humans.

This…this could not be real.

The thing before him could not be Tim.

What he saw…what they saw just had to be the results of too much alcohol.

"T-Timmy?" Abby whispered.

Feral eyes looked up at them, ears twitching in her direction.

No one could move, no one wanted to move, as though they were afraid that if they did, it would all either disappear or become real.

Suddenly the creature tensed, its ears stood erect and then it bolted.

"Tim!"

Abby ran off, the others stood there.

The Goth came back a few minutes later, short of breathe.

"He's gone" she panted.

Kuma sniffed the ground picking up his youngest sibling's scent, he looked back at his pack for just a moment, he made a low grunt that rumbled from his throat before continuing on, the others following. He gave a warning growl when his sister bounced ahead of him. He then let out a loud grunting noise that echoed among the alley ways that they traveled, his pack mates doing the same. Sarah letting out yipping noises.

They made it about a block when they all caught the familiar paw steps of their packmate.

Kuma purred when his young sibling appeared, he went over and sniffed the cub, making sure he was not harmed. Tim purred, and pawed playfully at his brother's large head before his sister playfully tackling him.

The other pack mates sniffed at the tumbling cubs.

Kuma watched them for a moment before moving.

Tim went limp when he was lift away from his sister by the scruff of his neck by Orion, Sarah gave a soft growl at Leo when he lifted her.

With the Cubs in their jaws they followed their Alpha into the moonlight.

I think they know now!
